The Pelicans had 20 players after the addition of Nate Robinson, so it was just a matter of time for Jordan. He could be on some 10-day deals this season or head overseas. Fri, Oct 16, 2015 04:56:00 PM

The Pelicans will sign free agent center Jerome Jordan.

Jordan doesn't have a lot of experience in the NBA despite being 29 years old, and he posted averages of just 3.1 points and 2.4 boards in 44 appearances for the Nets last season. The Pelicans are struggling with injuries with Alexis Ajinca (hamstring) and Omer Asik (calf) both on the shelf, so Jordan will provide some emergency depth for now. Sat, Oct 10, 2015 12:14:00 PM

The Nets will not make a qualifying offer to Jerome Jordan, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer.

The Nets are simply looking to keep as much flexibility as possible, so this isn't surprising. Jordan could potentially return to Brooklyn, but he likely won't be a priority after averaging just 3.1 points and 2.4 boards in 44 regular-season appearances. Jordan isn't on the fantasy radar.

Lionel Hollins said after the game that Jordan deserves to be in the rotation, and it's easy to see why -- he's playing solid ball on both ends, while Plumlee is struggling and shooting just 37.5 percent from the field. This position battle is only worth monitoring in the deepest of leagues.

Jerome Jordan went 7-of-7 from the field Sunday, scoring 17 points to go along with six rebounds and one block.

When asked about Jordan's performance, coach Lionel Hollins said, "Jerome who? I thought that was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." All joking aside, it was a great performance from a player who just recently signed a training camp deal. However, unless he continues to put stats up like this he may not even make the regular-season roster.

Unrestricted FA Jerome Jordan is hoping to land with a new team after being waived by the Rockets.

"I’m just waiting," he said. "I know my agent is talking and working for me. I’m trying to wait it out and just keep working. I want to be in a good position to play and compete for a back-up spot. I’m going to keep working hard and show teams that I can play." Jordan will likely have to wait for a training camp injury to hit before his market might heat up.

Knee issues have kept Pondexter off the floor for the past two seasons, and as recently as June 8, Pelicans GM Dell Demps said that Pondexter's status for the 2017-18 season is still "a little uncertain." He's owed roughly $3.8 million next year in what will be the final year of his contract, so if the Pelicans are able to move him, he would likely go to a team seeking to free up cap space for free agency in 2018. Pondexter is firmly off the radar in fantasy hoops.

Anthony Davis said that Cheick Diallo impressed him at the Summer League.

Diallo was a man among boys in Vegas, averaging 18.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks on 56.2 percent shooting. "He shot the ball well and did some moves [he’s added]," Davis said. "Cheick likes to work. He’s a hard worker and it showed in summer league." Davis and DeMarcus Cousins obviously aren't the most durable players, so fantasy owners should be ready to give Diallo a look this season if one or both of the star bigs pick up an injury.

Omer Asik (illness) will not play for Turkey at Eurobasket this summer.

Asik has been battling a gastrointestinal infection since February and the report adds that he's still getting treatment. There's no known timetable for his return, but at this point it's time to consider him questionable for the start of training camp in September. He's not a lock to be in the rotation next season and the Pelicans will obviously be shopping his awful contract.
